RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas — Air Education and Training Command launched a virtual world Tuesday targeting those avatars, or people, interested in learning more about the Air Force.
Second Life is a three-dimensional virtual world where users can socialize, connect and create using virtual characters, or avatars, who chat by voice and text. AETC purchased Second Life “land” called MyBase allowing public access to information about the Air Force.
With more than 15 million accounts worldwide registered in Second Life, the Air Force hopes MyBase will attract men and women interested in learning more about the Air Force, said Col. John Thompson, AETC Future Learning Division chief.
Avatars can access MyBase by logging onto www.secondlife.com and typing MyBase in the keyword search.
